Independent Developer / AI Lounge
Independent developer and vibe coder. I build products with AI, explore ideas through podcasts, and bring makers together in person. Based in Liangzhu, Hangzhou, I’m exploring new ways to create and live in the age of AI.
Made with curiosity.
Useful tools, small moments of joy, and a personal point of view.
